Chapter 110: Chapter One Hundred and Ten: First Come, First Served
Translator: 549690339
Ever since Jiang Ning was hit by Prince of Yu’s flower ball, it seemed as if Princess Ling’an had a grudge against her and would pick on her whenever they met.
Last time, during Concubine Jin’s birthday celebration, she openly caused trouble for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn’t feel comfortable due to her pregnancy, and she didn’t have a sense of belonging in this place, so she treated the people here as primitive and didn’t bother to argue with these young girls.
Who knew this girl wouldn’t let it go?
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Jiang Yuan angrily said, “Ling’an, how could you just take someone else’s things?”
“Speaking of taking things, who can compare with your family’s Jiang Seventh?” Princess Ling’an glanced at the embroidered shoes, very satisfied, “Besides, I claimed this pair of shoes last time!”
“Last time? Why didn’t you buy them then?”
“I… didn’t have enough money at that time.”
“Really? You, the dignified Princess Ling’an, couldn’t even afford a pair of shoes?” Jiang Yuan, like a cat that smelled gossip, immediately moved closer.
“Don’t talk nonsense, who said I couldn’t afford it? I just… didn’t bring enough money that time. I’m a princess, how should I know I need to bring money when I go out?” Princess Ling’an raised her chin, looking like a proud white swan.
Jiang Yuan smirked, “You think you’re a three-year-old child? Not knowing you need to bring money, last time I saw you shopping for fabric! You had a purse and paid careful attention! If you don’t have money, just say it, don’t be stubborn about it.”
“I’m a princess, so would I have no money?”
“What kind of princess are you, without even a fief? You just have a fancy title.” Jiang Yuan didn’t give her any face, reached out, and grabbed the shoes back, “First come, first served. Sorry, I brought money!”
She took out a silver coin and slapped it on the table: “Shopkeeper, I want these shoes, and you don’t have to give me any change!”
Princess Ling’an was furious and reached out to snatch it back: “Give it back to me!”
“I’ve already paid!”
“Shopkeeper, didn’t I say last time that I’d reserved these shoes?” Princess Ling’an turned her head and asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a beautiful woman in her thirties.
Her shop catered to the upper-class ladies and noblewomen of Chang’an City, and she had her own connections, naturally not wanting to offend anyone.
She hurriedly tried to mediate, “Both young ladies, please don’t be anxious. You both know that the shoes in my shop are unique, with no duplicates. Since Jiang Fifth Daughter has already paid, why don’t you take a look at something else, Princess?”
“I want this pair!” Princess Ling’an’s temper flared up, insisting on having it, “Shopkeeper, our mansion gives you a lot of business every year. I said last time that I wanted these shoes, and now you’re going back on your word?”
“This…” The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Yuan, “Fifth Daughter, the truth is, the princess did claim these shoes last time.”
“I’ve already paid!” Jiang Yuan refused to let go.
“Didn’t you just say it’s first come, first served? Why are you contradicting yourself now?” Princess Ling’an said sarcastically.
“You—” Jiang Yuan was at a loss for words.contemporary romance
Jiang Yan softly advised, “Fifth Sister, why not just let it go? It’s just a pair of shoes… We can buy something else.”
“Why should I?” Jiang Yuan snapped, “I’m not giving it to her!”
“Jiang Fifth, are you trying to openly snatch it?” Princess Ling’an crossed her arms and laughed, “As a young lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, can you be so overbearing? When word gets out, aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your father’s reputation?”
“You…” Jiang Yuan’s face turned red with anger.
“Princess Ling’an,” Jiang Ning spoke up, “You said earlier that you had reserved these shoes last time?”
